Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Noipoi]

Pitch: they add battling to Pokémon Home and it’s basically just Pokemon Stadium with online

Congratulations, you are now on the same wavelength as the fandom when they announced Home in 2019.

Dang it. I should have known it wasn’t an original thought.

After the great Pokemon Master Sex scandal? Not likely

Lmao, the Pokémon Master Sex hashtag.

Those were hilarious times.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

The answer is simple. European NSO subscribers just don’t get to play old Pokemon if they’re gonna pitch a fit over an 8-bit slot machine.

 

[Wario Bros.]

If the old mainline Pokémon games are coming to Switch, I strongly believe that it won't be on NSO. Probably will go the same route as Virtual Console, IMO.

I was today years old when I realized that Luigi's entire sidequest in TTYD is literally just him fighting the Goomba King from the first Paper Mario.

Good.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Also worth remembering that 3DS Virtual Console didn't just offer the English versions of the Pokémon games. The Italian, Spanish, French, and German versions were also on sale as separate titles.

That would be hard to do with the current setup for NSO.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

Some talk about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon earlier in the thread made me want to take the test again. I got Totodile back when I played it the first time.

Found an online version that asks all of the questions rather than just 10 of them.

Looks like I'm still a lizardman. Except I'm green now.

I’m probably alone in this but I want even more Pokémon remakes. But I want remakes of the definitive third version. AquaBlue, Mind Crystal, Gamma Emerald, Radiant Platinum, etc.

 

[Shroob]

I mean, probably not

Cold take tbh. I think a lot of people wished the remakes incorporated the 3rd game stuff.

Cold take tbh. I think a lot of people wished the remakes incorporated the 3rd game stuff.

I mean, my general feel was that people didn't want any more remakes and just wanted Legends games that revisited old regions instead. Of course they wished the third game stuff was in the original remakes, but it's not like they wanted ANOTHER remake to allow that to happen.

 

[Aurane]

I want a Pokemon game that doesn't run like a three legged manatee. That's it.

My hunch is that they would technically be NSO but would be Expansion Pass only.

Welp, gonna spend all night playing with this

Here's what I ended up with

 

[TheMightyP]

So my Mystery Dungeon quiz results

Spoiler: 64

Spoiler: 10 Question

When I played Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time a while back, I was a Totodile and Torchic guy. Wonder what changed.

 

[PLATINUM7]

For mainline old mainline Pokémon coming to Switch, I see two likely things.

1. They are on the NSO service but lack Home functionality which will be annoying.
2. They get their own releases which means there's no chance of functionality with Stadium 1 and 2 which will be annoying.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh yeah, the pokemon quiz

Got 2 of the best pokemon

Based Chikorita enjoyer.

Speaking of Johto starters I restarted my Mystery Dungeon DX file...and I'm a Totodile now! Not as busted as Pikachu but Ice Fang is really fun. Skitty is my partner this time

 

[Guynamednelson]

Also got the same results, but Sky tends to make me a Turtwig.

 

[Noipoi]

Looks like I'm going on a Johto Journey...

In other news, I am suddenly compelled to start a new playthrough of XY

Ay chiko cinda pals

 

[Zinith]

I did it and got Mudkip and Torchic. Oh well, at least they're all Gen 3 which is the most experience I have with Pokemon at all.

**** it, playing through Y again.

Which starter

 

[Wario Bros.]

Oh good, my order got shipped after the first attempt expired.

Eager for it to arrive.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

As a kid, I usually got Charmander from the shorter quiz. Part of the reason it became one of my favorite Pokemon.

Either the full list of questions make a big difference, or my personality's just changed a little more than I realized.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’m finally playing Nier: Automata on my switch and man… the open world quest driven nature of this game holds it back. I already feel like I’ve been playing for about as long as an average platinum games title and I’ve only seen a handful of enemy types and been to like… 4 locations that would be the equivalent of “levels” in a normal Platinum title. And there are so many piddling little side quests that I could just ignore because I’m not having fun with them but tell that to my ocd.

Oh look at that. I checked a walkthrough while writing this post and I’m over halfway through. It certainly doesn’t feel that way, and I know you’re supposed to play again as the other 2 characters but… nah. The first playthrough should be fulfilling enough on its own and this game barely has me hooked.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Which starter

Fennekin because I said so

 

[Noipoi]

Froakie

No, Froakie

Isn't the entire point of the game that you're supposed to replay it multiple times?


Of course a first playthrough isn't gonna be super fulfilling if they want you to run it again and again.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Spoiler: PMD Personality Test results (64 questions)

I wasn’t sure how to answer a few questions.

Pikachu is my favorite Pokémon so that’s awesome, and I also like Charmander. I tend to be shy so I feel Timid should be higher, but it told me I seem to be Brave and I guess that also makes sense? I feel like I’m fearful of things, but I don’t like the idea of being a coward, plus I imagine being a hero so…idk. It mentioned stuff about a sense of justice, I do feel that I think.

Quiet should definitely be higher, too, idk how to talk to anyone beyond “hi” and maybe small talk unless we share a similar/the same interest or I know them well xD. Maybe being around the midpoint still makes some sense for it and Timid, in that case, but I’d probably still nudge them up a little at least.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

No, Froakie

I cant believe you've done this

 

[Shroob]

God, I wanna 'finish' my House by getting all this furniture customized


But having to pick it all up again and remember exactly how I had it...... blergh. That's soo much effort.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

finally started season 2 of Spy X Family…and yes this is still hilarious
